Whats all this BS hype with all these International players getting drafted so high..

[joeyfkncrakk]

It's about the post-2005 mantra, to purge the Black inner-city player, from the league. So now it's draft as many "role players" as possible...then let teams fight over the few superstars

Lol might be real

 

[joeyfkncrakk]

Good pick by Cleveland and not drafting one of them euro dudes and failing again

 

[bigrizz]

Its all about potential since the 90s....The good US players will be good no matter where they go. Its more about these teams trying to mold players that arent as high maintainence

 

[t_m_a_c_f_a_n73088]

This is some bullshyt if you ask me.. I know that none of these european dudes will ever be factors so why are they rated so high.. This Enes Kanter dude hasn't even ever player organized ball besides in 1 pickup game and he's that highly rated... sounds like Darko all over again.. I don't see the point of drafting these guys expecting them to be the next dirk or pau just cuz their from that certain place.. that's like comparing all players to MJ cuz we're americans...

If Cavs were smart they would drat Derrick Williams first and Kemba fourth.. but they letting the media hype them for Kyrie when Kemba is actually the better pg

its all about potential. The same can be said about half these "great athletes" that come out.

i agree with 2012. over the years look how many euros they drafted that were busts or stayed over seas.... but they changed the rules so no high schoolers can come out no more. but hockey can draft teenagers lol....

 

[TRILLip Brooks]

i'm not paying the closet attention, but i swear, it seemed like 10 foreign players were drafted in a row

they just drafting these dudes and they will be role players and busts.... they are doing it out of spite. no more young hood niggas will get this lottery money but we will give it to euros.....

 

[juice86]

Im with you on this bullshit! fucking raptors love drafting these fucking euro douchbags that turn out to be busts

 

[joeyfkncrakk]

In the 2nd roun d it sounded like they were making up players.. The Lakers picked two random no namers, while Isaih thomas, Scotty Hopson, and Lighty was still there.. we could use some more guard help... Its like they giving away job opportunities that people from the US have lived for.. most times the euro never comes or he is a dud.. this shit is starting to get disgusting.. and Dirk winning it just made it worse

 

[twizza 77]

I think because of the Lockout teams are trying to save money, and stash these guys and hope that most of them won't come over.

Good point. Especially if theres a hard cap. Most teams might have to trim rosters. This way they wont have to add players to the books

Yo thats the funniest thing Ive read in AWHILE! lol smh at david stern playing scrabble and mismatch behind the podium with names and callin em out

 

[bigrizz]

They probably tired of dealing with American players that know how much they are worth. They can sign foreign players for cheap money, wont be divas, and they wont see they are getting fucked.......niggas would play for a plate of food and clean water......

Dude I was sittin here puzzled as hell.. like where are/these people all of a sudden coming from lol.. jay bilas and the other guy didn't even have scouting reports on the last 12 players and there was still good players out there.. I thought it was fukkked up to most college players

 

[joeyfkncrakk]

It makes no damn sense to draft a euorpean player unless he is gonna play.. that is bullshyt man

 

[bigpoppa1115]

It's all about POTENTIAL. these GM's will sell you on a euro pick so desperately that its sad. it's like "You won't believe all the things he can do. Yeah he needs some work but he can do some great things. Who cares if he only averaged 6 points and 5 rebounds a game in 14 games in spain? he's got potential!!!"

 

[jackthemack]

Just pushing the black man out the league.

im telling u its racial overtones to it. they turn off niggas from the hood coming out of high school getting dem big checks (on potential) yet they draft euros who are young (on potential) they gonna turn off Johhny Flin for Ricky Rubios unproven hyped up self

all of these college kids here and they overlook them for some Euro bum. Nolan Smith shoulda been picked way higher. Kyle Singler is better that thoses dudes. smg at one dude getting picked and traded and he wont play here for 4 yrs

 

[GetMoneyInDaN.O.]

mostly in all leagues gm's draft on potential....and for some reason its seems like they tryna find the next dirk,tony parker and ginobli....when they gonna end up wit darko,yi jilian li,or rodmanovic

lmao no doubt. The international expert was like "wtf?" during the final picks, all he could say was "they're projects." Shit was ridiculous, at some point you think they would draft some college player who could fight for a spot, not someone that might never even come into the league.
